[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 385582"] A manifestation hearing is where the IEP team, along with possibly some teachers/administration/school lawyer, look at your son's diagnoses and his current IEP/BIP to determine if his actions, that would normally be a basis for suspension or expulsion for a typical student, is a manifestation of his illness. In this case, does your son's diagnosis/symptoms include fascination with weapons, any violence, any physical aggression, etc? If it is, they cannot suspend or expel him but rather have to ammend his current IEP/BIP to address this kind of behavior. If that is not a typical symptom of his diagnosis, they legally can suspend or expel him. I would gather as much information as possible about your son's diagnoses so you know and can it share with the team. Another helpful piece is a written statement/assessment from any doctors or therapists that work with your son stating their thoughts on the issue as to whether your son is a threat. The school needs to make sure they handle the situation properly (legally) given your son's "disability". Hope this helps. In our state at least, a manifestation hearing is mandatory once the child has been suspended for 10 days in a given school year. My son just got his 3rd so far this year. My son's actions ARE a manifestation of his diagnosis but his haven't involved weapons of any kind. If it did, they would hold a hearing immediately also. Good luck. If you have any more questions, ask away. I'm sure you'll be hearing from the others. You have come to the right place. There is a wealth of "experience" knowledge here. [/QUOTE]
